The Decatur Book Festival Starts Tomorrow and Runs through Sunday.



By Phil Kloer/ AJC.
The Decatur Book Festival is declaring its independence.
"America's Largest Independent Book Festival" reads on the poster for the third annual book megaparty,which runs Friday through Sunday.
Other cities may have bigger turnouts,says Daren Wang,the DBF'S executive director,but they're all owned by larger corporations. Decatur's Festival, which hopes to draw 75,000 attendees this year, is run by an independent board of volunteers that strives to weave the festival into the laid-back artsy vibe of downtown Decatur.
